Shenhao makes a game

Chapter 48 Charges and Free

Soon, two days flew by.

On February 2nd, Saturday, a very 22 day, it is also the day when Dark Soul and League of Legends are online.

At eight o'clock in the morning, many players turned on their phones and computers excitedly, ready to download the new game as soon as possible.

They first looked at Mu Chen's Weibo.

Hmm~ I have no news.

Looking at Shuguang Entertainment's official website, there is still no news.

That's right, Mu Chen just said that it will be online today, but he didn't say when it will be online, which caused many players to shout on Mu Chen's Weibo early in the morning.

"Mu Chen! Where's the promised game!"

"Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb, be rough!"

……

After players shouted for a while on Muchen's Weibo and Shuguang Entertainment's official website, Muchen still didn't show up, thinking that the release of the new game wasn't at [-] o'clock in the morning, so he didn't say anything, but quietly waiting.

Nine in the morning.

After waiting for an hour, the players saw that it was already nine o'clock, and the overtime dogs on Saturday had already gone to work, so they thought that the new game should be released at this time, so they clicked on Weibo and the official website to watch it.

But goose, or not! ! !
Now the players are angry.

Labor and management didn't sleep in late on Saturday, and got up early in the morning to wait for the game to go online, but Shuguang Entertainment didn't move at all.

As a result, the trend of comments on Muchen's Weibo completely changed, and players left messages one after another:
"Mu Chen is dead!"

"The Imperial City Game Factory is closed down, the bastard boss Mu Chen is running away with his new game!"

……

In short, the players scolded more and more, and some of the grumpy elder brothers had three consecutive qualities.

Finally, 5 minutes later, Mu Chen's Weibo finally posted a new post.

"Sorry, I overslept~"

The players who saw this news almost vomited blood from anger.

Feelings They wake up early in the morning and wait for the new game to be launched, while Mu Chen is sleeping, who can bear this?
Thus, a new round of verbal and written criticisms began, with fragrant mouth, mouth...

But before the players scolded a few words, Muchen updated the second Weibo.

"Already online~"

A download link to the official website is also attached at the back.

The players who were typing furiously just a second ago stopped what they were doing immediately after seeing Mu Chen's second Weibo, and went to download the game in a hurry.

As for which of the two games to download?
cut~
Of course, download the free one first!

(Dark Souls requires a paid buyout, while League of Legends is a free download.)
In this way, with the release of the game, Muchen's Weibo was at peace.

An hour later, Shuguang Entertainment.

"Old Liu, how is the download situation?"

Muchen is still a bit worried, after all, two games are launched at the same time, this kind of unprecedented, after... I don't know if there is a new method, it is indeed a bit radical.

Liu Jin went to look at the data that the employees just brought up, and then said: "Currently, the download volume of Dark Soul is 3, and the download volume of League of Legends is 100 million~"

Mu Chen couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion.

"There is still a big difference between charging and free~"

Liu Jin curled his lips when he heard Mu Chen's emotion, and said helplessly: "The general environment is like this, players are all used to the previous free games, otherwise why so many studios and game manufacturers were starved to death before, And Black Soul's performance is already very good, one hour is worth a month's sales of other stand-alone games on the Suguang game platform."

Muchen felt relieved after thinking about it, if he hadn't made the Shuguang game platform before, allowing players to try the paid buyout mode of stand-alone games first, the sales of Black Soul might be even lower now.

Of course, another reason is that Black Soul is a bit expensive.

Although not 9998, not 998, only 99.8~ But for the purchasing power of RMB in this world, it is still quite expensive.

In addition to the previous three games on the Shuguang game platform, the highest price was only 3, Mu Chen turned over all at once, and would indeed persuade some players to quit.

Of course, there are some players who have money to buy but are still waiting to see.

Their principle is, I can buy it now, but there is no need~ After the first batch of people who eat crabs come out to talk about their feelings, they will first look at the quality of the game before considering whether to buy it.

So Mu Chen compares the free download League of Legends with Dark Souls, generally speaking, it doesn't make much sense.

Because the profit points of free games and paid games are different:
Take Muchen's previous life as an example, in general free download games, there will always be in-app purchases in them~ Otherwise, how can the manufacturer justify it?What is the first charge to send ingots, the first charge to send magic soldiers, etc., it is a set for you.

As for you saying that you don’t recharge, the game is free to play and download anyway. Is it possible that the manufacturer will force me to recharge?

That's right, the manufacturers will indeed force you to recharge, because in the later stage, their games will make it difficult for ordinary players to play, and some even blatantly stated that the customs clearance items must be recharged to get them.

And at that time, players will either give up the game they have worked so hard to play for so long, or they will recharge.

The worst thing is that the game manufacturer will not let you charge more, maybe ten or eight yuan, so that the resistance of the players will not be too great, because it is free to download, and there must be many people playing, and they In this way, a small amount of money has naturally entered their pockets.

So, sometimes, if you count the money you spend in free games, you may have bought several 3A masterpieces. (The author weeps silently)
As for those paid stand-alone games, at first glance, they cost tens of hundreds, or even hundreds. It must be a bit reluctant to ask players to spend so much money to buy a game at once (except for local tyrants).

Therefore, no matter in Mu Chen's past life or in this world, the life of a simple buyout single-player game is really not very easy.

Thinking of this, Mu Chen has to admire those manufacturers who started out as large-scale stand-alone games in the previous life. These people are no longer satisfied with the income brought by the simple buyout stand-alone and free online games + in-app purchases.

So a buyout + online game + in-app purchase model was developed, and... the most important thing is that the quality of the game is still very good, and it can attract a large number of players to pay for it, (such as eating chicken, Overwatch, etc.) ) This also made those game manufacturers turn around.

Of course, Mu Chen would definitely have the brazenness to bring these games over~ After all, this mode has passed the market test in previous lives, so it is still very desirable.

But the most important thing at the moment is to slowly cultivate the consumption habits of players, boil frogs in warm water~
